Incoming_Transmission: Hello explorers. In the wake of an ever exciting NFT NYC experience, the team has returned to work on bringing holders unique activities and benefits. Our newest Rouge challenge will be made available as soon as it is ready, though we regret the delay. We hope to see you all there. Now, come and escape the waking world…
ROUGE CHALLENGE
Our next challenge within Lvcidia — taking place on Rouge — was originally slated to release July 6th. Unfortunately, complications returning from NFT NYC caused a delay. We are aiming for release sometime within the next week, so be sure to follow our Twitter or Discord for updates. The previous challenge favored the fastest among you, with the quickest completion times being rewarded a CURIOSITY STONE. For this challenge, our aim is to do something a bit different, and perhaps give those of you who are not speedrunners a greater chance. Community collaboration will be favored in this event, as you see a side of Lvcidia that has not been shown before. The winners of this challenge will receive a TENACITY STONE, and anyone who completes it may also benefit in the future. We hope you’re looking forward to it!
FVCK_INTEL
Recently, our trusted moderator BONGLO has begun posting market updates in the #fvck-intel channel of our Discord server. Participating in this channel is a privilege exclusively for holders that have verified in our Discord. Bonglo’s write-ups there focus on both specific projects and the overall market, providing a steady stream of information so that you can stay up to date with all things NFTs. We have also added an “Intel Squad” reaction role to the server, so you can receive pings for Bonglo’s posts. Anything posted in the channel is NFA, so please utilize your own judgement if making decisions utilizing the provided information.
WEBSITES AND WHITEPAPER
Our web team is hard at work on our online presence, with plans to revitalize the Lvcidia website and Fvckrender’s personal site. The design of our beautiful e-commerce site has also been completed, and we are hoping to have it functional within the next couple of weeks. We’re looking forward to getting items from our clothing line into our loyal collector’s hands. As for the whitepaper, the content is complete. We are currently working on the legal side of things. The goal is that anyone could read the whitepaper and, with clarity, understand what we are working to achieve with the virtual aspect of the Lvcidia brand. We are also putting substantial effort into its design. As always, thank you for your patience.
GRAPHICS BY @590nm_
Lvcidia community member and digital artist FIVE-NINETY offered his services to the Discord the past month, creating a collection of high-quality banners for the community to use on socials at your request. For our Crystal Gods and Crystal Royalty, he will also make you a custom graphic to showcase your crystal. The banners are available for free download in #gallery, and the custom graphic can be requested in #gods-and-royalty. We love to see artists participating in our community like this, and are always welcome to fan-art or other unique ways of engaging with Lvcidia. If you have any Lvcidia art you’d like to share — whether that be a photo, video, illustration, etc. — be sure to post on Twitter and tag us.
AVATARS OF THE WEEK
Another week, another ESSENCE burned. This week we hit a major milestone of 9,000 Fvck_Avatars revealed. With that, rarity rankings updated on Rarity Sniper. Only 4,000 Essence remain, held by our community’s most diamond handed. There are still a few more Handmade Avatars to be claimed among the unrevealed Essence, so hopefully those see the light of day soon. Here are my personal favorite avatars minted in the last two weeks. Congratulations to the owners!
COLLABS
Fvckrender was selected by @pirovino to participate in the curated Christie’s auction TRESPASSING, alongside many other great artists. Fvckrender’s piece, LASH//, will be available for auction until July 21st (bid here). The winner will also receive a physical artwork. Fvckrender also worked with ROMEO’S GIN on artwork for a new bottle that recently released in stores. They also hosted a commemorative event at Park Royal, with Fvckrender in attendance signing the bottles.
CONTEST WINNER
Finally, we posted a new contest to our Twitter this past weekend for those of you who set a Fvck_Avatar as your PFP. A winner was chosen randomly, and we wanted to announce it here first. Congratulations to comment #226, @evvi2222! We have confirmed they are the owner of the avatar they posted and use for their PFP. Thank you to everyone who participated in this contest! We will try to do more soon.
